Game Day: Rockets (10-4) @ Suns (11-6), Mon 11/24/25

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:30 pm AZ (6:30 pm PT/9:30 pm ET)
Place: Mortgage Matchup Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: Peacock

The Rockets come to town for the first time since the Brooks trade. ;) No KD tonight due to family issues. The Suns injury report is unknown as of the time of this posting. Will Dunn or Allen be available? Any chance Williams is playing the 2nd game of a back to back? Also, somehow due to scheduling, the Suns have already played 3 more games than the Rockets.

And on a programming note, this game is on Peacock only. Kind of sucks on how many services one has to have to catch all Suns games whether local or out of market. I think it's the only one I don't have but I will figure out a way to watch.

Winnable. Sup said it in another thread, and I agree. There are no scheduled losses with this team.

IMO I think they should sit Williams just to be safe. We can get by with Richards, Oso, and ManMan. I really love our flow right now and don't want to see it disrupted with an injury to Williams.

This has the potential to be a schedule loss, given that it's a back-to-back against one of the best teams in the league. But this team has shown a lot of heart and hustle so far, so anything is possible. My main thing is I just want to see them hustle and compete.

The real question is, will BOOYEA!! see the floor tonight? Watch and see!

Yeah, wouldn't that suck if Williams got injured the first time he played a back-to-back?! That would be worse than the "came back one game too early" running gag.

And somehow, I don't think your final tag is going to make the Peacock promo tonight, @Marty.

Without Williams and Dunn and on the second night of a B2B, I don't feel great about this one. It'll help that KD is out but we still have to account for Jabari and Sengun up front. Reed's been playing well but hopefully we can slow him down with our guards. Gonna have to shoot better than last night that's for sure.

I thought the Peacock games were on NBC also or maybe it was only some that were. I pay good money for League Pass to be able to see the Suns play and this doesn't seem fair to anyone. We might need a separate thread dedicated to how to watch these games without subscribing to a separate service.

Can't win 'em all but they're sure going to fight trying.

Only some games are on both Peacock and NBA. This isn't one of them.

yea.... watching games and figuring out what is the best service to watch games on is ridiculous. if you get league pass, to me that should mean you get every game, regardless... I mean you'd think the name implies it's a pass to the league.

Should be called League Pass To A Lot Of Games But Not The Ones In A 500 Mile Radius Or Games On Prime, Peacock, NBC, or ESPN/ABC, am I right?

Day to Day really means Week to Week. And I think Ott said he hadn't had a chance to run full court because of the schedule so if that's the criteria to get back, not sure when he'll be ready to go.

This game being only on Peacock really blows. I just don't understand why I can't watch every game if I pay for the NBA League Pass? That should just give me access to the whole season! I don't know why they can't just sell a basic desirable product like this.

I have a bad feeling about this game. But, if we win this one, it will be a really big statement from us. So I'll definitely be cheering and hoping for them to surprise me.
